There was a heavy snowfall just last night. At this time, the sky and the earth were completely white.
There are bursts of fragrance from the kitchen, which is the aroma of pork.
Jiang Xiaoman sat on the threshold and wept tears.
Jiang Xing brought her a bowl of pig brain flower, sprinkled some millet peppers and soy sauce on top, and drizzled with hot sesame oil, it smelled very delicious.
"Whatever you eat to make up for what you eat, you need to use your brain to go to school. The more you eat, the smarter you will be."
Jiang Xiaoman angrily picked up the spoon and ate while crying, tears streaming down his face.
She felt that she was sorry for Dahua and Huahua.
I spent two dolls with peanuts and let them eat them all.
Jiang Xiaoman has raised them for so long, although most of the pig grass was beaten by her grandmother, and she would steal Huahua's little pumpkins, but she was still very sad that the big flowers and small flowers were gone.
After Jiang Xiaoman finished eating, he ran to the pig sty and said to Hua Hua, who was lying on the ground with his head drooping and dozing off, "Don't be sad, Hua Hua, I will be left with you in the future."
Hua Hua lazily raised her eyelids to look at her, hummed a few times, and continued to sleep.
The child was crying so badly, Jiang Xing couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "I like pigs so much, in the future, my uncle will buy you a little fragrant pig and keep it as a pet for you."
Jiang Xiaoman wiped away his tears: "What kind of pig is a fragrant pig? It's cuter than a big flower, is it delicious? Isn't it fragrant?"
"...It should be delicious too." Jiang Xing wiped her mouth and gave her a sign of size, "It's just this big, it will never grow up, let's not eat it."
Jiang Xiaoman was just a little bit happier, and in his heart he named the Xiangxiang pig that he had not seen before.
I hope Xiangxiang will always be fragrant, but Jiang Xiaoman thought about it for a while and felt that it was not good if it was too fragrant. If it's too fragrant, she might be tempted to eat it.
After hesitating again and again, she compromised and chose a new name, called Xiao Xiangxiang. It means just a little fragrant.
After eating the first annual pork meal, the uncles and uncles who came to help kill the pigs all left, and the house became quiet. Jiang Xiaoman and Jiang Xiumei were picking up the leftovers and taking care of the yard.
The weather was too cold, Jiang Xiumei was afraid of freezing her, so she drove her back to the house.
"Your uncle doesn't work, why are you here to join in the fun? Go back to the house."
Now the mine is no longer working, and the workers are all going home for the New Year holiday. Naturally, Jiang Xing has no work. Recently, he is idle at home every day.
Jiang Xiaoman had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and ran back to the house to bake the fire.
From time to time, the carbon in the brazier jumped out with a sporadic spark, making people drowsy. Jiang Xiaoman leaned his head on Jiang Xing's knee and asked him in a vague voice, "Uncle, when will I be able to go to the best kindergarten in the world?"
In the past half a year, Jiang Xiaoman's hair has grown back, and it looks better than before.
The little girl's hair is very thick and soft, and feels very good. Unfortunately, she loves her hair so much that she always protects it from touching. Jiang Xing only touched it for a while and then let go.
He thought about it and said, "It's coming."
"It's coming soon, you say that every time." Jiang Xiaoman said angrily, "I'm four years old this year! If I don't go to kindergarten, I won't have a chance!"
Jiang Xing sneered: "You are talking about going to school every day now, don't wait for you to go to school, then cry to go home."
"No way!"
"That's how I used to be."
"That's you." Jiang Xiaoman put his hands on his waist and said, "Grandma said that you were not obedient since you were a child. She would beat you up several times a day, which was even more punctual than eating. I'm different, but everyone praises me for being smart. Yes! Grandma said that I will definitely have something to do in the future, and Teacher Tang also said that I will definitely have something to do, but you don't think so! I want to be like my mother, the most powerful, the smartest, and the most promising child!"
Teacher Tang said that her mother was the only college student in the town back then, and her college entrance examination scores are still recorded! Mom is awesome!
Jiang Xing was so angry that she didn't understand how she became more and more stinky. At first, she was just stinky. Jiang Xing poked her little face, left a sentence "Stinky girl, wait for me", and then went out, not knowing why.
When he came back, there was a man behind him with a toolbox in his hand.
"Install a landline at home." Jiang Xing said: "After the new year, I will often run outside. It's embarrassing to always go to school to make phone calls. It's inconvenient to have no contact phone."
There are not many people in the town who have landlines installed at home. The people here are very simple, and there are generally no people who need to be contacted when they go out.
Jiang Xiumei originally felt that there was no need to dress up and it was a waste of money, but her son now has a business and is not as idle as before. She gritted her teeth and decided to listen to him and let the workers do it.
After fiddling for a long time, the landline is installed, but it will take two days to make a call.
Jiang Xing picked up Jiang Xiaoman, let her play, and let her memorize the number and remember the phone number at home.
Jiang Xiaoman is not difficult to memorize a string of words.
Because she owed a lot of debt to the system at a young age, she was particularly sensitive to numbers. She could just read a few-digit number back and forth a few times.
Jiang Xing said with a smile: "With such a good memory, as expected of Xiaoman, he can not only read but also count."
Jiang Xiaoman was very proud and snorted, very proud.
Not only can she memorize numbers, she also writes a diary. But it was her secret, and she didn't tell anyone.
In the beginning, Jiang Xiaoman didn't have the habit of writing a diary. Those so-called diaries were originally letters of correspondence with Yu Qingshi.
At that time, Jiang Xiaoman didn't know many words, so every time he could only write crookedly on a piece of paper and he was not satisfied. Perfectly inheriting Jiang Xiumei's fine tradition of frugality, she felt that it was a waste of money to send letters one by one, so she decided to write a few more pieces of paper, save them up, and send them together.
Saving and saving, before it was sent out, Yu Qingshi said that he was going to start school. Jiang Xiaoman didn't know if he could receive her letter after he went to school, and he didn't want to disturb his study, so he didn't send it.
However, the habit of writing every day is retained and written as a diary. Every day I record what I did today, what fun things happened, and what new words I recognized.
Children are very forgetful. Originally, Jiang Xiaoman was sad when Yu Qing started school, but gradually he is not sad anymore.
Two days later, the phone at home went through. Now the person Jiang Xing contacts the most is Yu Wencheng. He dialed the other party's number without even thinking about it. After the two exchanged business affairs, Jiang Xing wanted to hang up the phone, but he remembered something and called Jiang Xiaoman over. gave her the microphone.
"Happy New Year to your friends."
her friend
Jiang Xiaoman didn't react, he held the microphone in both hands, and obediently said "hello", but the other party didn't speak.
"Hello, hello?" Jiang Xiaoman called again.
There was nothing in the receiver except the sound of electricity.
The other party seemed to be a boring gourd and didn't say a word, but the phone didn't hang up, and the line was still busy.
Jiang Xiaoman glanced at the microphone strangely, and felt that the style of being silent for a long time was too much like a person, so he tentatively asked: "Hello, little boy?"
"Children Yu Qingshi?"
Under Jiang Xiaoman's continuous questioning, the other party finally gave a dull reply.
"Well, hello Jiang Xiaoman."
It was indeed Yu Qingshi.
Although his voice was a little distorted after passing the microphone, Jiang Xiaoman still remembered it.
"Hello!" Jiang Xiaoman was so happy that she almost jumped up. She touched her head and didn't know how to continue to say hello, so she asked him, "Have you eaten?"
"I ate, what about you?"
"I ate it too." The food is still big flowers, and the New Year pig can eat it for a long time. The unfinished meat can also be cured, and the cured meat is also delicious.
Jiang Xiaoman invited him enthusiastically: "Are you coming to my house to play?"
Yu Qingshi still had a very deep memory of the town. He wanted to refuse, but he felt rude, so he wanted to find a seamless excuse.
It's a pity that a perfect excuse has not been found yet, Jiang Xiaoman seemed to see through him, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, there are no insects in winter, it's quiet here, even if there are, I'll help you catch them, I'm super good. "
Yu Qingshi's face flushed with anger.
He exclaimed, "I'm not afraid of bugs!"
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid of anything." Yu Qingshi didn't want to tell her, but Jiang Xiaoman made him speak every time, "I have a cat, it can't be separated from me, I can't go to your house to play."
The cat was raised after returning from Jiang Xiaoman's house, and Yu Qingshi named it Miaomiao.
It is said on TV that cats are very agile and can catch mice and cockroaches. Yu Qingshi was very tempted, and immediately pestered his father to adopt a cat.
Yu Wencheng was naturally responsive to his son's request, and soon found him a cat as a playmate.
The cat is orange. When it first arrived at Yu Qingshi's house, it was only a small one. Now it is very big and fat. Half a year passed, and the worm didn't hold one, let alone one, and the fat orange was getting lazy and fatter, even lazier than his master, and now Yu Qingshi couldn't hold it anymore.
But Yu Qingshi still liked it, even though it only eats and doesn't work.
Speaking of the cat at home, Yu Qingshi's tone was lighter than usual, and he said more: "Miaomiao likes me very much, and only eats what I feed. If I go to your house to play, it will not eat."
It turned out to be so, Jiang Xiaoman understood again.
Jiang Xiaoman said: "My family Huahua is also waiting for me to feed. If I don't secretly stuff it with pig grass, it can howl in the middle of the night."
"Pigweed?"
"Huahua is my pig."
"...Oh." Yu Qingshi didn't understand how someone would keep pigs as pets, but it was quite novel, so he asked her, "Are your flowers well-behaved? What are the benefits of raising pigs?"
"Raising pigs... Raising pigs..." Jiang Xiaoman scratched his head anxiously, "Raising pigs is affordable."
"Ok?"
"Flowers can live. Pork is delicious."
"..." Yu Qingshi was silent again.
Jiang Xiaoman happily spoke to the microphone for a long time. After inviting him to play to no avail, he asked him if he could write a letter. She can recognize a lot of characters now, and she can write beautifully. If he could receive it, she would send him a letter.
It's that showy tone again, Yu Qingshi didn't understand how she could be so confident.
She always felt that she was the smartest child.
Yu Qingshi was not convinced and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I also learned a lot of words. I also got full marks in my handicraft class, and I will show you the clay figurine I pinched."
The two decided so happily.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoman hurriedly ran to the yard to dig soil, but in the winter, the ground was frozen hard, and she couldn't dig as a child, and she was sweating profusely in a short while.
Yu Qingshi said that he got full marks for kneading the clay figurine, so she wanted to knead it too.
She also gets full marks.
Jiang Xing took a few glances and said, "You might as well make a snowman."
Jiang Xiaoman's eyes lit up and thought it was a good idea. It's all pinching anyway, what's the difference between a snowman and a clay figurine? no!
It's just that the snow that fell two days ago has almost melted, and she has to wait for the next heavy snow.
